Let's Get Married novel Chapter 601

Lily is relieved at what he says. "That's good. I was afraid of wronging him."

"Don't worry. Although Adair is sensible, he is still a child. He's not too sensitive. Relax."

"Can I meet Ryan sometime?" Knowing that she and Ryan have once been close, Lily involuntarily asks in a softer voice.

Rex wants to say no. After all, no man would be willing to see his woman meeting his love rival. But he knows he couldn't stop it. He doesn't want her to be distracted because she couldn't meet Ryan. He agrees with the idea, though he doesn't like it. And he has an extra request—

"You can meet. But I'll be there, too."

Lily couldn't help but laugh at his frustrated, childish manner. "I'm not doing anything. Why are you so worried?"

He's been picking holes in her ever since they started to talk.

"It was your fault to get so close to Ryan. I'm jealous." He says it out loud without feeling any awkwardness. What's more, he looks like he's telling the truth.

Lily knows that he is joking. As a man in his thirties, he is mature and sedate in front of outsiders. But when he's staying with her, he acts like a child. She doesn't mind the contrast, though. To be specific, she likes it very much.

No one could see such a side of him but her.

Lily curled her lips in resignation and happiness. "Alright, you'll come with me."

Actually, she does plan to go with him. After all, to her, now Ryan is a stranger. She is afraid that she couldn’t handle it by herself and has no idea how to talk about the changes that happened in the past few months.

With him by her side, she is at ease.

It's just that before she could mention the plan, he has already brought it up. Watching his grudging look, she fails to resist the temptation to tease him.

The decision is made. After lunch the next day, she stares hesitantly for a while at the unfamiliar numbers sent by Rex before she makes a phone call.

The phone rings for a long time before it is picked up. The man's voice is hoarse. It sounds like he is sick. "Hello?"

Lily's heart skips a beat at the voice. She looked up at Rex, whose dark eyes seem to be able to give her endless strength. She calms herself down and says, "Is that Ryan?"

"Lily?" After hearing her voice, the man's breathing is heavier. He repeats, "Is that you?"

He has recognized her voice in a short sentence. Lily's fingers tightened on the phone. "It's me."

"Where are you now?" The man sounds nervous suddenly, and his breathing, which has become short out of excitement, comes through the microphone.

"I'm home. I want to see you."

"Alright, where do you want us to meet? I'll rush over now." Ryan agrees without hesitation, regardless of the valuable meeting and contract signing later. Ignoring the advice of his assistant and secretary, he rises from his seat immediately, takes the car keys, and walks towards the elevator.

To him, all the business and contracts are just numbers. It doesn't matter how much value they would bring him. Now, all he wants to see is the woman who has been gone for months, who he has been worried about.

"SL Teahouse, No. 38 River Street. I'll wait for you there." Lily says lightly as she glances at the man beside her from the corner of her eyes. "Rex would be there, too," she adds.

Ryan is reaching out to press the elevator button. At that, he pauses for a short moment and narrows his eyes, "Alright."
